[plasmashell] [Bug 481686] Continue to show menus for the previously-focused window when focus is lost to the panel or one of its widgets

This is a good solution, but I think the active window would still lose focus whenever other widgets are clicked. I think the approach here should be something similar to a dedicated Global Menu mode, where it is treated as a root Plasma object which has greater privileges rather than just being a widget. The user can switch to the previous "Taskbar Mode", where they can customise their panels as needed, but the Global Menu mode would change the paradigm totally (just like macOS does). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
